Visible in the upper left of the image is UGC 2275, a very faint irregular galaxy. It is located 1.3 degrees northeast of γ Ceti, in the head of the constellation Cetus.
The galaxy belongs to the galaxy group centered around M77.
Although faint and dim, it spans more than 5 arcminutes, and you can observe an extremely faint ring-like structure surrounding its outer regions.
Located 30 arcminutes southwest of UGC 2275, the small spiral galaxy visible in the lower right of the image is NGC 1085.
Although its size is only 3 arcminutes, it appears brighter and more prominent.
NGC 1085 is more than six times farther away than UGC 2275, and there is no direct connection between them.
